The UK is a world leader in many areas of maritime business services, education and research and provides many of the essential services that keep world shipping in operation. While no longer a major centre for large scale commercial shipbuilding, the UK is home to significant technical and design expertise, as well as smaller scale boatbuilding and component supply. The maritime industries (shipping, ports and business services) are estimated to contribute at least £8.5 billion a year to the UK economy.
This module looks at operations and risk management in maritime industries. Beginning with an insight into the economics of the shipping industry, the module goes onto consider shipping transportation and supply, operational planning and risk management, the co-ordination of the supply chain and the impact of shipping on the environment.

Designed specifically as part of the MBA with Maritime Pathway, the module is designed to support learners who are looking to move into the shipping industry to get a better insight of how the sector works. It is also well suited to learners from the maritime industry who wish to progress in managerial and leadership roles, including those who may be transitioning from sea-based occupations to shore-based careers.

The module utilises a combination of lectures and case-studies to embed the learning around the various topic. The case study is important is a critical part of the learning as it allows learners to bring content and skills learnt on the other parts of the MBA programme to bear on the issues of maritime operations and risk. Similarly, the case-study also allows learners to bring any relevant work experience to bear on the problems raised by the case study.

This module introduces the theoretical and practical design of maritime robotics systems such as autonomous underwater and surface vehicles (AUVs, ASVs).

Students will be introduced to the theoretical principles underlying their design including aspects of guidance, navigation and control, modelling and simulation. The module aims to provide the students with the skills required to design, build and deploy simple robotic systems.

In view of the Engineering Council’s support for the development of engineering degrees that will equip students to become professional engineers, the module follows the European Network for Engineering Accreditation guidelines to contribute to graduate awareness of the wider multidisciplinary context of engineering. The module introduces, develops and examines an emerging engineer’s capability of becoming a responsible engineer – to human life, marine structures and the maritime environment, and highlights the importance of non-technical – societal, health and safety, environmental, economic and industrial - constraints and their implications for engineering practice. This is achieved through a greater understanding of the actors in the design, construction, operation and end-of-life of an engineered artefact and the legal, ethical and regulatory frameworks in which they operate.

The module engages a deep learning methodology in systematic risk assessment from the perception of risk to the quantification and mitigation of risk. From an engineering perspective this involves an understanding of the subjectivity associated with determining hazards and the stochastic nature of engineering components where tools are provided to deal with these issues. Further, fundamental concepts of law are reintroduced, building on previous undergraduate understanding of the law, to demonstrate how the law applies in the context of ships and shipbuilding.

Unfamiliar ways of looking at the design and operation of engineered systems, within their legal, ethical and regulatory context, are explored and used in a practical sense through group projects. These projects are disseminated to and assessed by their peers in a manner that will be increasingly more familiar during their professional lives.
